Cameron Higgins came from Hawaii to play quarterback for the Wildcats for four seasons from 2007-10 and rewrote the Weber State record book. Weber State was his only scholarship offer. He still holds the WSU school record with 12,274 passing yards and threw for 98 touchdowns! He is also second in school history in total offense yards. He was named the Big Sky Offensive MVP and earned All-America honors as a sophomore in 2008, as he set a school record with 4,477 passing yards and 36 touchdowns in leading Weber State to a Big Sky Championship. Coach Randy Rahe was the head coach of the Wildcats from 2006-22 and left a lasting legacy in Wildcat basketball history. He finished his career as Weber State’s and the Big Sky’s all-time leader in wins. He won 316 games in his 16 seasons as head coach of the Wildcats. He also led the Wildcats to five Big Sky regular season championships, three trips to the NCAA Tournament, and was named Big Sky Coach of the Year a record four times. Coach Rahe also recruited and coached some of the best Wildcats of all-time.
